Move Comparisons:

• Hishousouzan vs. Rekkaken: Hishousouzan is better up close and against shielded enemies. Rekkaken can launch enemies and is better against attacks like Big Ben's fire breath.
• Embukyaku vs. Uraken Uchi: Uraken Uchi has more damage and wider range. Embukyaku is easier to chain into combos.
• Kikou Shou vs. Hien Zan: Kikou Shou hits harder and can be cancelled into Shin Kikou Shou. Hien Zan is better for knocking airborne enemies out of the air and offers more combo options.
• Tobi Kyaku vs. Shin Hishousouzan: Tobi Kyaku can be used twice in a row for potentially higher damage.
• Tamashi Age vs. Shin Kikou Shou: Tamashi Age is for swarming enemies or fighting near walls. Shin Kikou Shou is for enemies at a distance or in open spaces.

Max's Strengths & Weaknesses:

• Strengths: Fast, skilled grappler, can blitz with most weapons and combo with sharp weapons. Jump Kick may have buffed i-frames.
• Weaknesses: Low stamina leads to quick KOs. Hishousouzan may have nerfed i-frames.
